Description
Nutella Overnight Oats are a rich, creamy, and indulgent breakfast that combines the smooth, chocolate-hazelnut goodness of Nutella with the heartiness of oats. Prepared the night before, these oats are soaked in milk (or your preferred dairy-free alternative) and combined with Nutella to create a decadent yet healthy breakfast option. Simply grab a jar and enjoy a no-fuss, delicious meal in the morning, perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.
Ingredients
½ cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added thickness)
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional for added sweetness)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oats: In a mason jar or a bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), milk, Nutella, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if desired). Stir well until the Nutella is fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This gives the oats time to soak up the liquid and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats and add a little more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts, and enjoy!
Notes
For a protein boost, you can stir in a scoop of protein powder or add some Greek yogurt.
These oats are customizable—feel free to add fruit toppings like fresh berries, banana slices, or strawberries for a burst of freshness and extra nutrients.
For a dairy-free version, use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
If you like it sweeter, add more maple syrup or honey to suit your taste.
